Resources

The UGE aspires to provide information and referrals, in coordination with other organizations and service providers on campus and in Montreal.

If you would like to submit information to be added to this webpage or would like information or a referral send us an email at unionforgenderempowerment[at]gmail[dot]com or visit us during our opening hours!

Useful Hotlines:

Trans Lifeline (877) 330-6366
Trans Lifeline is a non-profit crisis hotline dedicated to the well-being of transgender people. We run a hotline staffed by transgender people for transgender people. Trans Lifeline volunteers are ready to respond to whatever support needs members of our community might have.

This is a FREE helpline run by volunteers and supported by the community.

Who is this line for?
This line is primarily for transgender people experiencing a crisis. This includes people who may be struggling with their gender identity and are not sure that they are transgender. While our goal is to prevent self-harm, we welcome the call of any transgender person in need.

SACOMSS 514-398-5800, opening hours vary but are available at http://sacomss.org/#dial

A confidential, non-judgmental sexual assault helpline and drop-in service, providing listening and support to survivors, their peers, and their allies.

Open to the public, free-of-charge, and currently offered in English. Referrals to other Montreal services, including sexual health clinics, counseling services, and sexual rights organizations, are available for survivors, if desired.

Please note: We do not necessarily agree with or support the actions of organizations listed here; this is simply a resource list for folks who are interested in social justice work being done in so-called Montreal.
